No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Yeah. It's, like, not an extra gun for your action figure, it requires upgrading to the action figure with kung-fu grip!

Incorporating technology into instruction needs more than an add-on piece; it requires a full... "

Maybe.

I hope you're feeling better, Emily.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Or something like a full integration of technology into the curriculum, which, itself, requires an understanding of the possibilities and uses of said technology?

Hmmm A full reassessment of the possibilities for computer applications in each aspect and area of the curriculum, maybe?

That's good, except I also want something about how it has to be part of the school setup as well, as opposed to, "So, we've got a computer lab. Use it for something!"

Ha! I done made up some bullshit.

You guys were very helpful, thank you! Now I have to let it sit for a while, and (I regret) actually look it over again before declaring it done. Better go back to the lesson planning. Yay, polynomial functions!

So let me ask folks: would you rather have a 4x4 sheet of gold or 3 2x2 sheets (of the same thickness, let's say)?

Well, then that would require significant education for the teachers and administrators, who need to understand that computers are the equivalent of paper, not the abacus, which then circles around to the idea of full integration.

It requires a wholesale change in attitude for teachers and administrators.

Right! Kung-fu grip! Also, training, consideration of how it will fit into the current schedule setup, etc.

Wow, Emily!

Hive-mind flower-getting question: The last three times Daniel's gotten me roses (a single rose twice, then half a dozen) they've died - wilted then dried up - before opening to full bloom. Upon receiving them, I trim the rose's stems at an angle under cool running water, and I follow the directions for mixing the nutrient/preservative pack. What's more, the vases are blue or green glass, which I had heard should contribute to longer lasting flowers. This is three times in a row now, so that makes me wonder if the problem is something in our water, but does anyone else have any ideas on what is going wrong?
